Depends what you mean by "pond pellets", do you mean for fish?

Some may be OK as part of their diet, but proper turt pellets are better, why not feed those?

I've used them for my own turts before, but they don't tend to have the same vitamin and mineral content of proper turtle pellets, I wouldn't rely on them solely.
